12 Objectives 1. Assess DNA damage in human skin in vivo before and after UVR exposure (2 MED) 2. Assess melanocyte proliferation in human skin in vivo before and after UVR exposure (2 MED) 3. Determine whether biomarkers affected by sunscreen QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute 12

13 Design of study SCREEN for eligibility / pigmentation Baseline biopsy control skin (Day 1) UV exposure - 2 MED at 2 sites 3 biopsies at 24 hr (Day 2) -Control, UV, UV + sunscreen Baseline 24 hours 14 days 3 biopsies at 14 days (Day 14) -Control, UV, UV + sunscreen Control UVR Sunscreen + UVR QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute 13

14 Participants 57 healthy Caucasian volunteers Mean age 25 years (range yrs). Fitzpatrick skin type 9% skin type 1 54% skin type 2 37% skin type 3 QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute 14

15 Biomarkers measured Biomarker Erythema CPD ki67 p53 Melanocyte counts Biological interpretation Acute inflammation UV-specific damage to DNA sequence Marker of cell proliferation Overexpression indicates DNA damage Melanocyte proliferation QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute 15
